Gerry Sutcliffe, Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Culture, Media and Sport, responded to the debate

Westminster Hall adjournment debates allow MPs to consider issues of local or personal interest which rarely have time to be debated in the main Chamber of the House of Commons. MPs can discuss a variety of issues and receive a response from a government Minister.
